Well, had a question and called their help line. The answer was ok but not very clear as I don't have the online form in front of us - won't do it until Tuesday.

Basically daughter in intermediary school will be away the whole week at school camp. How do we report? Three people live here (household form) and only two individual forms (as per the example in the census letter (as in daughter shouldn't not be reported here by us)?

They say we should fill the household form with "Three live here but not everyone is here now" and then proceed with three individual forms...

Be careful filling it out, once submitted it can't be changed :-)I rushed through it while chatting with my partner, and one of the first questions was "How are you related to [blood family member]" and I put Spouse which is definitely not the case. Figured that out when I saw partner filling his out.

Called the 0800 number who said nothing can be done, and they have to mail me out a paper copy instead.

Aside from that, I think this was wayyyyy easier than earlier years, the site is also really nice so I think most people will have no trouble working through it.

Paul1977: My partner and I completed ours a few days ago, but since then she has had to change some travel plans and will no longer be home on the night of the 6th. No way to change the forms once completed.

This seems to be quite an oversight as they are encouraging people to complete it early, but sometimes unforeseen things happen.

Agree. I may be wrong, but if I went to Ubekistan or Lithuania for a couple of weeks, I am excluded?

Did anyone else notice that it asks you to tick if your household has a 'mobile phone' and then 'a telephone' as seperate options? To me a mobile phone is a telephone so I was wondering if I should tick both, but then I thought that maybe 'a telephone' is supposed to refer to a wired phone.

I can vaguely recall seeing the same question last census and thinking that it wasn't very well thought through.
